Gary, In becoming whizkids of technology, have the kids sacrificed anything? The key factor in reducing our kids overload was turning off the boob-tube. It is amazing how much more self-confident our kids are than their friends. They are not subject to the destructive pressure which advertisers and producers promote. Television advertising, programming, and news is based on making people feel needy, inadequate, or insecure. The computer stuff is just play for them. Using the computer is as big a part of their lives as playing in the park. I can't imagine raising kids without 2 or 3 computers in the house. We will be buying another one or two soon. Scumbria
